2023 Epic trip

Recommended Posts

Parked for the night in Rapid City SD.

Fuck the wind on I90 westbound. Happens every time. My old skinny arms are sore as hell and Jesus did it kill the mpg's. I lost abot 50 miles per tank.

Still a great day. Cool iron sculptures, prairie dogs and awesome views.

Still a long way to go but we are getting there and having a blast.

Tim and I experienced the same thing coming south out of Sturgis. The relentless wind takes a toll on you.

Tim must be unlucky. When we did the Iron Butt we had a 40 mph wind from the side from Davenport to 90 and then as a headwind the rest of the way. It sucked.

Saw a really grim road kill today on 90 near Murdo. This massive steer. 2 state workers were there with a flatbed trying to figure out how to load it. Pretty sure they are going to need a lift truck or end loader. It was huge.

Pretty excellent day today.

Early round trip on Spearfish Canyon Rd. Saw some dead people and the geographical center of the US. Ran 90 over to Buffalo WY and ran 16 west. What an amazing road and views. Spending tonight in Cody WY. There is a rodeo tonight we may go to.

Heads up before I forget. You need a reservation to ride the Road to the Sun between 6am and 3pm. They limit it to 900 cars during that time. They go on sale for 2 bucks the day before. So you do that or plan it real early or after 3pm.
